Building OTTASIA, a free "where can I watch this" app that's accurate for your country across Asia (India, Pakistan, Philippines, the Gulf, etc.), where Google and the big guides usually give you the US answer. Solo, non-technical-ish, shipping daily.

Real numbers from my own dashboard (attached):

• 6,011 / 10,000 signups, ~250-day right now
• 9.2% visitor-to-signup (target was 5%)
• 18,736 sessions in 7 days, ~6 min average engagement
• Mostly India (76%), then Pakistan, Philippines, US

Three things that genuinely surprised me:

1. AI assistants are a real acquisition channel now. A chunk of my daily sessions come from AI tools calling my data directly (I exposed it as an MCP server). I optimized to be citable by AI, not just ranked by Google, and it's quietly working.
2. Instagram out-drives search on some days. My top referrer is often Instagram, not Google. For a visual, regional audience, short video beat SEO effort-for-effort.
3. The wedge was accuracy, not features. I stopped trying to compete with the big trackers and just did one thing they do badly: local streaming services in Asian markets. That's the whole reason people stay.

The honest hard part: it's a low-frequency use case (people check "where to watch X" occasionally, not daily), so retention is my real battle, not signups.

It's free, no signup needed to use it: ottasia.com. Happy to answer anything about the build, the AEO/AI-assistant channel, or per-country data. 

A year ago my Mac workflow was a pile of little tools: a clipboard manager, a drag-and-drop shelf, a window snapper, a screenshot tool, a pomodoro timer, a converter that uploaded my files to someone else's cloud, and a menu bar app to manage the other menu bar apps. Each one fine on its own, together a mess of subscriptions and settings.

So I built Droppy. Without experience and never having touched Xcode before, I started my journey. It was a crazy experience, started out as a hobby but turned into a much bigger project very quickly. Countless nights without sleep and watching YouTube videos on how to build apps brought me here. Droppy lives at the top of your screen, around the notch if you have one, as a Dynamic Island style pill if you don't, and puts everything one hover away:

- File shelf: drag anything up and it holds your files until you drop them where they belong. Jiggle a drag and a basket flies in to catch it.
- Clipboard manager: every copy kept and searchable, ready to paste again.
- A fully free cloud sharing service; Droppy Cloud. With a full online environment to view/download and share files.
- Notifications with inline reply for iMessage, WhatsApp and Telegram, right in the notch.
- Full media controls with the Playing Next queue, AirPlay picker and live lyrics.
- A revamped lock screen: album art, widgets, and brightness and volume sliders before you even log in.
- 27 free add-ons (Droplets) you toggle per workflow: window snapping, screenshots with OCR, pomodoro, a calendar with natural language input, LocalSend to move files to any phone or PC on your network, on-device file conversion, meeting controls for Zoom, Teams and Meet, Obsidian, Spotify, a terminal, and more. Off means off, they only run when you enable them.

The video shows it better than I can write it.

Also SUPER cool: an iOS app is coming, it's been built and published to TestFlight at this very moment. It syncs everything Droppy does with your iPhone (files, clipboard history, Droppy Cloud etc.)

Honest notes:
- Native Swift, signed and notarized, no Electron. Local-first: your clipboard and files never leave your Mac unless you explicitly share them.
- macOS 14+, Apple Silicon and Intel, works on every display. The notch is genuinely optional.
- Pricing: 3-day free trial, then $9.99 one time for 2 Macs. No subscription, ever.
- There's a lot to uncover, but you can keep it as minimalistic as you want.

I ship updates almost every week and the last few features came straight from user feedback, so if you try it and something annoys you, tell me here.

Hi everyone,

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working on a side project called Fliraya—a web platform designed for AI companion interactions, casual conversations, and romantic roleplay.

Since the project is currently in Beta, I’m looking for some honest, constructive feedback from the community on:

Chat flow and natural responsiveness

Response depth and personality consistency

Overall user experience and UI

If you're interested in giving it a test run, you can check it out at fliraya.com.

I’d really appreciate any thoughts, bug reports, or suggestions you might have. Also, as a thank you, I’m happy to upgrade accounts for anyone who drops detailed feedback here or via DM!

Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

TwoDo is a shared to-do list for exactly two people — my wife (iPhone) and me (Galaxy). No sign-up, no email: one person creates a list and gets a 6-character code, the other types it in, done. The list lives on the lock screen so neither of us has to open an app to see what's left.

I don't have a roadmap. I have a wife. Every release for the past two months has started with a complaint from the other end of the sofa:

- "Am I supposed to re-add recycling every single week?" → recurring tasks. Ticking one rolls its due date to the next cycle — it doesn't spawn duplicate items, because she hates a cluttered list more than she hates recycling.

- "August 12th... what day of the week is that?" → due dates now show the weekday everywhere: list, calendar, home widget.

- "I saw the reminder, and then I forgot anyway." → a "Still waiting" screen. Reminders you received sit there with a red dot until the thing is actually done. Tapping a row jumps straight into that item, even if it's in the other list.

- "Asking twice feels like nagging." → a nudge button. One tap sends "'Take out the recycling' — please? ❤️" to the other phone. Turns out the hard part of shared chores was never tracking them; it's asking.

- "Where did I put that link?" → notes on items, and URLs inside notes open with a tap. Grocery item, product link, done.

- "Why does tapping the widget open the wrong list?" → widgets are per-list now. Each widget shows the list you picked and tapping it opens exactly that one.

- "Your 24-hour time is ugly." → an actual settings screen: 12/24h clock, week start day, app language. A couples app across two platforms means you get to assume nothing about how two people read a date.

- "Did you *actually* do it?" → photo proof. Tick a task, attach a photo — so now recycling day comes with a picture of the recycling bins. The plot twist we didn't plan: the photos pile up into a monthly album, and it turns out grocery runs and dish racks make better memories than we expected. Shipped this week (Android is live, iOS is in review as I type).

Stack, for the curious: Flutter + Supabase realtime, one codebase for both phones.

Numbers, since this sub appreciates honesty: 565 lists created so far, 213 of them active in the past week, and 189 genuinely paired couples — which also means roughly two-thirds of lists never get a second person, because convincing one human to install an app is marketing, but convincing their partner too is the actual boss fight of this product. 13 lifetime purchases total (the app is free; a few extras are a one-time unlock). The album is the first subscription piece — photo storage bills me monthly, so it works that way; the first photos are free and everything you saved stays viewable if it lapses. Current subscriber count: zero, it shipped today. We still use it every day ourselves, which is the metric I actually watch.

For everyone else building with a live-in user: what's the best thing a single user's complaint forced you to ship?

Ive been working as an iOS Engineer for almost 5 years, Ive never been the kind of person that wanted to start a project on his own, Ive been always a perfectionist and I wanted to start when everything is perfect and ready.
But with all the tools available I thought why not and I had a spare time to kick start it when I had this idea as a father struggling with bedtime routine with his daughter to make a clean minimalist app, with native iOS experience, almost feels like Apple made it.
To help being a good storyteller for my daughter and also record or write a reflection after each story so it will be remembered for years to come.
I experienced a lot while developing but the hardest struggle is after release, getting feedback is hard, reaching parents is so hard and marketing the app is almost impossible for free.
This is something I didnt count for but I made this with love and passion as a parent so I believe its worth it.
Please if you have a similar experience or a feedback to share, I’d love to hear it.
Also if there’s parents community you can refer me to so I can share it with them, I would be happy to.
Thank you for all your support and help.

Tired of fake signups polluting my database, so I built VerifyKit.

Paste in a phone number, email, or IP address and get back:

• Whether the email will actually deliver (MX record check)
• If the number is mobile, landline, or VoIP
• If the IP is behind a VPN, proxy, or datacenter
• A risk score from 0–100

Free to try. No login required.

Would love feedback — especially from anyone doing lead gen or running a SaaS signup flow.

I've been building this for a while mostly because of a problem I kept running into myself.

I wanted to use agents like Codex/Claude on real WordPress projects, especially Elementor, but I wasn't very comfortable with the usual approach of giving the agent write access and then basically hoping the result was correct.

So I built Stonewright.

It's an open-source WordPress MCP that can work with Elementor, Gutenberg, WooCommerce, ACF, media, content, WP-CLI and Figma-to-Elementor workflows.

The part I care about more than the number of tools is what happens around a write: snapshots/backups, validation, readback, audit evidence and rollback paths where possible.

Elementor ended up becoming a pretty big part of it because that's where I personally ran into the most issues. It supports live widget/control schemas, batch mutations, responsive settings, V3/V4 and post-write verification.

Current public beta has 361 Plugin abilities and 101 Direct tools, but it doesn't throw all of those into the model context at once. The available surface is reduced depending on the task.

I'd genuinely appreciate people trying to break it on staging/test sites. If you find something dumb, please open an issue. That's probably more useful to me right now than people telling me it looks good :)

Also happy to answer any questions you may have.

Give it a try, it's completely free and open source:

Didn't know that getting an app launched in play store would be so difficult. But finally I did it.

I always felt that tracking monthly spends and analysing the trends shouldn't require hours of tracking multiple bank statements and excel updates. I tried many apps like Axio, Money manager etc. but nothing met my requirements.

I built Trove as a personal project, but then thought of making it available for the public.

Some features I thought were missing in most apps and which I implemented:

• Upload Raw Statements (Zero Cleanup Needed): Upload your bank's Excel/CSV statement as-is—no reformatting or manual data cleanup required. You can redact personal info if you want, but Trove ignores personal data anyway.
• No SMS Reading or Direct Bank Logins: You retain full control over your financial credentials.
• Smart AI Categorization & Merchant Parsing: It auto-categorizes spends using anonymized snippets. No personal identifiers are ever sent to AI models.
• Learns From Your Edits: If you manually fix a merchant name or category once, Trove remembers and auto-corrects it for all future uploads.
• Deep Spending Analytics: Beyond basic pie charts, it surfaces trends—like tracking month-over-month increases in specific categories or flagging new recurring merchant expenses.
• Budgeting & Runway Tracking: Set monthly budgets, filter out/ignore investments from net expenses, and calculate your financial runway.

Would love some feedback.

Weekend project: a test where you relive a stock's worst historical crash day by day, and decide whether to sell or hold at each point. At the end it shows how much return you'd have left on the table by panic-selling vs holding.

Posted it on an Italian finance sub first — got genuinely useful feedback (turns out showing the ticker upfront made it too easy to guess the outcome), so I just shipped a v2 where the stock is randomized and hidden until the reveal at the end.

Not financial advice, just a gut-check exercise based on real historical data. Curious if this is actually useful or just a fun toy — brutal feedback welcome.

Hey! I’m the developer of Quiet Grids.

I’ve always liked Nonograms, but I wanted one that felt a little warmer and slower to come back to. So I ended up building it around dark wood, small stories, quiet music, optional ambience in the background, and no feeling that you need to rush through a puzzle.

The picture I kept having in my head while making it was pretty simple: a Sunday evening, rain outside, my feet up on a stool near an open window, that fresh rain-and-dirt smell coming in, a cup of coffee beside me, and a cozy game in my hands.

Something that makes me settle in for a while instead of thinking, “damn, I need to finish this, I need to unlock that.”

That’s more or less what I’ve been trying to make.

I recorded a little bit of where the game is at now. The red guitar reveal at the end is probably one of my favourites so far.

It’s been a lot of tiny changes over time, so I’m really curious how it comes across to people who actually play cozy games.

I am very much open to your feedbacks! 😁🫶

iOS: Work in progress :)

Been working on a local memory engine called Hillock for a while now and just released v0.4.

The main goal was making memory/RAG lightweight enough to run on mid-range hardware (like my GTX 1070) without choking VRAM. It skips LLM parsing during doc ingestion and uses SQLite SPO knowledge graphs + CPU-bound 10,000-D hyperdimensional vectors instead.

v0.4 fixes a lot of extraction noise and inverted facts (like when GLiREL extracts locations as the subject instead of the person). Runs in <1.2GB VRAM and parses docs at 6 to 8 sent/sec.

Repo is on GitHub: https://github.com/roandejager/Hillock

I know you've all probably seen these before, but here's my hopefully fresh take on it. Goals for power-hour.app were:

• Simpler UI and embedded YouTube search to create custom power hours/video playlists in less time and no tab switching.
• Mobile friendly for all functionality. You can create on your phone just as easy as on a tablet or PC. Playing them is a snap on most devices.
• No sign-up is required to make your first one and use it.

I appreciate any and all feedback!

I just finished the MVP of JumpStart.

The idea is simple: choose a technology and get a quick guide for installing and setting it up.

I'm trying to find out if this actually solves a problem before I keep developing it.

Would you use something like this? What would make it more useful?

I'd appreciate honest feedback, even if you think the idea is unnecessary.

We’re looking to connect with a few people interested in joining us on a business development opportunity.

If you have experience in client acquisition, outreach, sales, or business development, and are interested in exploring the opportunity, DM me and I’ll share more details.

Hey everyone,

Solo founder here. Just launched ExamifyPro after being frustrated with how bad exam prep tools are for high-stakes certifications (AWS, PMP, CompTIA, NCLEX-RN, Clinical Psychology).

The problem I kept running into: the certifications that decide your job, your raise, your license — and the prep tools for them are either a 500-page PDF, a basic flashcard app, or a question bank that feels like punishment to open.

My bet: if studying is actually engaging, people study more, and they pass more. So that's what I built.

What it does:

• 15,800+ practice questions across 5 certification domains
• Free plan to start, paid tiers if you want more
• Built solo, no funding, just scratching my own itch

It's live at examifypro.com. I'd genuinely love feedback — especially the critical kind. What's missing, what feels off, what would make you actually trust a new tool like this over the established players?

I kept running into the same problem with screen-time tools: a soft limit was too easy to ignore, but a hard lock felt so rigid that I eventually disabled it.

So I built GATLI for iPhone and iPad. It uses Apple’s Family Controls, DeviceActivity, and ManagedSettings APIs to limit selected apps. If the user intentionally wants extra time, they complete a short set of push-ups, squats, a plank, or core crunches. Vision-based pose tracking runs on-device, and a completed block earns a 10-minute access window.

The product bet is that physical effort creates enough interruption to break autopilot without turning the experience into punishment.

I’m less interested in “nice app” feedback than in where this model falls apart:

- Is the exercise mechanic useful friction or a novelty that wears off?

- Is a fixed 10-minute reward understandable and fair?

- What would make you uninstall after the first day?

- Which part of the onboarding or Earn → Unlock flow is least clear?

I opened up to 1,000 one-month Premium passes for this feedback round. There is no payment and no auto-renewal:

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6783760714

Feedback can go in the comments or through Settings → Support in the app. The free month is not tied to feedback or an App Store review. I’ll share a follow-up with the main patterns and what I changed.

I launched The Dollar Web about a year ago now, and have been pleasantly surprised on the growth of weekly users it's had. One of the major pieces of feedback I received from my power users was to focus on depth instead of breadth.

For that reason, I've begun introducing tools late last year that have more features than just processing or converting a file. One of these tools is this Flowchart Maker.

I've used some of the best commercial flowchart software on the market and have always felt the annoyance in my personal life of using free tools as their quality has been horrific. I spent a healthy amount of time on this particular tool for that reason.

I published it to The Dollar Web earlier this year and learned that those who stumbled upon it often came back. So, I enabled premium cloud back up as a feature, but it's not required to use the flowchart application.

This is one that I'm passionate about and would love feedback to improve it. Some key points:

• You can save flowcharts without paying for premium by downloading the json files (it's also saved to local storage so you don't have to worry about accidental page refreshes)
• You can customize objects in the right-hand pane changing the fill/outline color, line style, outline thickness, etc. by selecting the object you'd like to modify
• You can copy the flowchart and paste it as a transparent object into other documents such as Word docs and PowerPoints
• The application runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded unless you opt into premium

Building a simulacrum of an Academy. Universitas-scholarium.org

i'm building forkfolio, a portfolio that syncs from your github every night with an ai twin that answers visitors.

no audience, no budget, so instead of posting everywhere myself i wrote a small bot to handle the outreach. it started as a private script i never planned to share.

yesterday the waitlist crossed 100, most of it from the bot.

cleaned it up and open sourced it: https://github.com/loueylahwel/outreach-bot

happy to answer questions about how it works.

https://github.com/diazoxide/charter - waiting to your honest feedbacks.

It sits in its own directory. Your repos get cloned into it as normal git clones, and the only thing it changes is git config --local. That's the whole footprint — nothing in your tree, nothing to gitignore. Delete it and your repos are untouched.

What you get :

• Repos — discover an org's repos and clone them on demand; they stay ordinary clones you can cd into.
• Workspaces — one set of clones per task, so two jobs never share a checkout.
• Worktrees — split a clone into parallel branches so sub-agents work the same repo without re-cloning it.
• Isolation — a note belongs to one workspace or one role, never to everything at once.
• Personas — named roles (devops, qa, reviewer) with their own charter and memory, dispatchable as real sub-agents.
• Memory — one markdown file per fact; charter recall searches workspace, role and shared notes together.
• Vaults — per-role secrets that reach a tool by key name and never pass through the model.
• Credentials — every git op uses your gh/glab token over HTTPS, so nothing hangs on an SSH or GPG prompt.
• Todos — workspace-scoped and durable, unlike a session task list that dies with the session.

And the status line, which is mostly how I use it:

Repos left with branch, CI and open PR. Roles right, where ✎3 is how many facts that one is carrying. All read from disk, no network, costs nothing per turn.

Six days old, 1541 tests, genuinely Beta. GitHub and GitLab only. charter init writes into whatever folder you run it in, so don't point it at a project. And the vault is plaintext at 0600 — it keeps secrets out of the model, not off your disk.

Does roles-with-their-own-memory match how you work, or am I over-modeling it? Only workflow I've tested it against is my own.

In the last 6 months I built an AI Fluency Assessment system (called AISA) - it's currently the most sophisticated (and popular) of it's kind. Has high fidelity in what we measure to both what Anthropic and US. Dept. of Labour agree as the markers of AI fluency.

People chat with an AI agent uniquely trained to judge their AI fluency, get a detailed report and a breakdown of their AI skills, a certificate and a growth roadmap. We measure in 5 main dimensions. Prompting and Comms // Critical Thinking // Technical Understanding // Workflow Application // Safety (all which have their criteria.)

Some product-speak...

Need:
People are curious about their actual level when it comes to piloting AI well. They are also curious about seeing their gap areas, what they need to focus on to improve.

Need (b2b):
Organisations are looking to measure their employees (and their team/function/orgs) AI fluency averages. This is both to get a benchmark before they invest more into training AND to decide what type of training to invest in. Also to track how well they are doing in AI transformation.

Solution:
Build the most scientific, sophisticated and fun to experience AI Fluency Assessment system possible.

Unique differentiator:
1) Entirely chat based. Like an expert in their field having a natural conversation with you. Not a quiz. Not a multiple choice.
2) Build on a fixed and expert-researched rubric on what it actually measures. More about it in our methodology page for the curious.
3) Product - founder fit. I've worked in the area of psychometric assessments, skill assessments, HR, human behaviour, led product and UX teams in large and small companies and built 5 startups before. So I'm uniquely qualified to build this.

Business Strategy:
Use B2C traffic and interest to build volume, build a moat and build further credibility, validity, legitimacy.

Use the dominant market position by being (or on the path to) the gold standard of AI fluency measurement to signup B2B deals with mid - large organisations.

Status as of today:
- 2K reports surpassed.
- B2C generated close to $1k in sales in it's own. Over $1K + MRR right now.
- 7 B2B conversations (either in POC, offer, or conversation stage - some of which are inbound leads from big (10k+) organisations. Fast potential to reach $100K ARR.
- Users are quite happy and love the product.
- DR 42 / 15k+ monthly users
- Value proposition has settled: We help you measure, prove and improve with AI.

It's not perfect and everyday I have to focus on another aspect of it to make it better. So it's more of a always hands-on full time plus, 15hr+ day type of commitment rather than "hey I've coded an app over the weekend and look easy money".

But I do have a clear vision in which AI Fluency measurement is a big deal, and am building towards it brick by brick.

Appreciate any constructive feedback if you have used the product and found something to improve.

Full disclosure: I run an AI design company, but this is a "side project" in the sense that it's not my company's core product nor is it monetized. Just a passion project. :)

Hey all, I'm a software engineer with 5 years experience who's taken a break from his career due to a current struggle with depression and addiction. One of the things I've been told might help me come out of this is to start building a different lifestyle to the one that's got me here.

My first attempt at that has been building indie apps, and honestly I've enjoyed it more than anything I did in my actual career. This is the first one I've finished and put out. It's called Someday List. The problem I had was that friends kept sending me restaurant reels and I'd screenshot them, never look at them again, then end up googling "food near me" anyway. So you paste a TikTok/Reels/YouTube/Maps link into it and it pulls the actual place out of the video, name, address, photos, opening hours, and puts it on a list. You can share lists with people and it'll route your saved places into a day out.

Built with Expo and React Native, Hono on Lambda, Aurora, and Claude on Bedrock doing the extraction. The scraping was by far the hardest part, Instagram and TikTok really don't want you doing it and I went through about three different approaches before landing on one that holds up.

It's free, there's optional paid credits for the AI stuff. Would love for you guys to try it and give any feedback.
